Nepalese children have hope for the future because
of supplies, scholarships, & help from charities.

The CENTRE FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH (CCODER) and EMPOWER NEPAL (EN), its counterpart in the United States, are working to change the lives of children in these remote regions of Nepal by developing community-based schools. Improving and expanding the three main schools is essential; sustainable school systems are vital and offer hope and opportunity to future generations of Nepalese children. Currently there are 25 teachers at the three CCODER schools who are paid significantly less than the average salary at private schools. CCODER and volunteers from EN provide permanent rooms and laygrounds, teacher support through training and salaries, plus student scholarships, materials and supplies.
